NO STEERING = NO GO! Who is carrying a spare 35-lbs steering box?!

This is the Redline way! 105-80 Steering Box Upgrade for 80-Series, with CRYO!
The 80-Series Toyota Land Cruiser sector shaft has a smaller spline-shaft diameter than what is available from the 105-Series Land Cruiser. This 105-shaft is of the same fitment as the 80-Series, but with a larger spline-shaft diameter. You need the 105-Series Pitman Arm as well. But we take this upgrade a step further as well with CRYO treatment! We treat both the pitman arm and the sector shaft.

With these parts, send them and your old steering gear box to RedHead Steering Gears for the most trusted name in 4X4 steering box modifications! Contact them at (800) 808-1148 to discuss your project. There complete contact info can be found on their contact page of their website.

Here at Redline Land Cruisers we’ve had a long love affair with “go-fast-machines” such as drag racing and high horse power engine dynamics. Through our years of “playing” in other fields of automotive motorsport performance, we’ve learned a thing or two. One of the oldest deep dark “black arts” of motorsports is “Cryo” or the process of Cryogenic hardening. Why is it a “black art?” You can’t see it, smell it or taste it! Well… You can see it, only if you have an electron microscope! But what is this Cryo?

CRYOGENIC HARDENING

Cryogenic hardening is a cryogenic treatment process where the material is cooled to approximately −185 °C (−301 °F), usually using liquid nitrogen. It can have a profound effect on the mechanical properties of certain steels, provided their composition and prior heat treatment are such that they retain some austenite or gamma-phase iron at room temperature. It is designed to increase the amount of martensite in the steel’s crystal structure, increasing its strength and hardness, sometimes at the cost of toughness. Presently this treatment is being used on tool steels, high-carbon, high-chromium steels and in some cases to cemented carbide to obtain excellent wear resistance. Recent research shows that there is precipitation of fine carbides (eta carbides) in the matrix during this treatment which imparts very high wear resistance to the steels.
